I'd highly recommend the Netflix documentary Icarus. The filmmaker starts out trying to more or less replicate the doping routine of Lance Armstrong while competing in amateur cycling.
I don't want to give anything away, but the documentary takes an incredible turn once the filmmaker meets Dr. Grigory Rodchenkov — who ran the Russian anti-doping lab prior to Russia's ban from the Rio Olympics.

- trevmckendrick 9y ago+1 for Icarus. Excellent, fascinating documentary. Don't get distracted by the weird title.
- billforsternz 9y agoWeird title? Clever and apt title I would have thought.
- dugditches 9y agoHow is it a weird title? Icarus flew too close to the sun and suffered the consequences. Fairly good analogy for athletes using Performance Enhancing substances and flying to high and have it all crash down.
